I plan to take you from the depths of hell and back as only a demon could. Should you wish to read my exploits look to the right. My name is Mercia Zigor and few have accomplished all I have in my time on earth. First off, let me warn you, I'm a complete screw up and that I'm given to impulses in the worst way. I use a lot of profanity. And you can see pretty much what consists of my daily routine. Such as, escaping hell (this takes top priority) and acts of debauchery (this is just fun on so many levels). God doesn't want me other than to use my skills as a demon slayer and well, Satan, can't wait to drag me back into the fiery black abyss where he says I belong. Enjoy, my tragedy, pain. For I surely do (at least I can entertain someone other than myself). Most of which comes in the form of Saeth, that damn cherubic guardian that is the bane of my existance barking orders and driving me mad. Why wouldn't god trust me? He made me. (All questions referred in this direction will be answered by me, Mercia. Not the woman that thinks she's writing my story.)

Hi Jacquelyn, It's nice to read your
blogs. But I feel really sad after
reading your first line of chapter one
because I couldn't understand the
difficult English... Although I'm also
a writer, I can only using simple
English to express a long novel, even
a mature one... because my first
language is not English and I am grow
up in a China city... Anyway, I'll try
my best to learn from you!

Adam -
so what inspired you to write this novel?

Actually, I've never written a first person view. And well, my usual genre is romance, but I thought it would be fun to play around and tell it from the demon's point of view. Her struggle to get into heaven and escape hell altogether. I have a bumper sticker on my wall above my comp that says 'I do it demonstyle'. Got it at a booksigning so I figured it was a sign to get cracking on this novel.
I take it you like what you've read so far, Adam?

on writing: chapter seven
I love the chapter as a whole and the visualization was great. I liked the last line though..for some reason it was funny. I know you probably didn't intend it to be but "How cryptic could angels be?" That coming after what was just said made me laugh.
I felt the seriousness of the emotion but I wanted to laugh at the irony of it all I guess.
You did a wonderful job though and keep it up! That's really awesome that your writing a novel on IMP! It seems insane but it is awesome! :)

Thanks, my whole life seems to be insane, why not share it with others. I was actually hoping the irony would come through, you'd think that demons would be more cryptic?

Saeth is a she, she's a cherubic guardian. Picture a house cat with angel wings. She's annoying, pops up in some of the damnedest places, doesn't know when to shut up. Oh, and she can become quite ferocious when the need arises by quadrupling in size

Prologue
-----------------------------
Prologue
I know that shadows are meant to stay shadows. However, let me be the first to introduce myself. Mercia Zigor, demon hunter, at your service. My life has been extraordinary, strange. I started as a mortal. I’ll have to tell you how I became this creature another time. However, I die and am reborn. Not in the sense that my spirit returns to the Gough to be reborn into another vessel with divine assistance. No, my body dies and I go straight to hell. If I die, I try to get out of hell as fast as possible since my boss is a little pissed off at me. Actually, he’s very pissed off at me.
I am what you would consider a demon of sorts myself, a Fate. My original role was to change the timeline of human existence unbeknownst to humanity; however I successfully accomplished my job during the tenth century. I’m the one that threw humanity into the Dark Ages; please don’t thank me for that. It was a learning process for all of us and I was just following orders. As the world shaped beneath my wonderful tutelage, I realized that humanity, while corrupt and without morals, still deserved a chance to better itself. So, I tried to hand over my resignation. Thus pissing off the dark overlord of hell, Satan, Lucifer, whatever you wish to call him. My choice names for him are a little harsher, which we shall not go into at the present time.
He sends all manner of demonic minions to fetch me back. For centuries, I’ve walked in shadow looking over my shoulder for the army of minions that would drag me back into the fiery eternal black abyss. The only worthy adversary that I’ve had in fifteen hundred years has been my trainer, Griffyth Edan. He’s an exceptionally skilled and cunning warrior. A demon of knowledge which is why he would be a fabulous trainer, right? However, I’ve been given new counsel and that’s not counting my watcher. For some reason, God just doesn’t trust a demon. Can’t fathom why, he created me in the first place. I was after all human first. My choices are what got me sent to hell and into the damned graces of the dark overlord.
It’s good to be popular to a degree. Though a bit daunting at times. So now, I have dedicated myself to being a demon hunter. I hunt others like myself. Trying to save what’s left of my soul, so that I never have to stand before that hideous thing again. I think he took being called a fucking asshole a little too personally, but that...More >>
